Christmas or no Christmas people should remember not to get stirred up about something specific until it actually happens. As for a reduction in seat capacity, if Delta puts a 757 on a flight from NYC to BRU instead of a 767, that can be seen as a reduction in capacity with no change in how many pilots are flying. The big picture is sometimes deceiving. As for Christmas, I am making sure I get my son the G.I.Joe with the Kung Fu grip.
